How To Write A Poem







The Phd's instructive tome



Describing how to write a poem



Is really not my cup of tea.



In fact it vexed me so



I asked for its review



From an expert lady I knew,



A major in philosophy



Who has written poetry,



And this is what she said to me:



    "Halls of learning can't contain



    The fiery heat of love and pain



    Of those who practice to attain



    Poetry's true purity"

A friend of mine also sports a PHD in Literature and is the enthusiastic founder of a writers organization with over three hundred members. A group well represented in a yearly publication of short stories and poetry. Another dear friend, was a professor of Literature at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis for thirty five years. Both enjoy life and that is poetry. Welcome to postpoems. :o)
